If one is asked if they have an opinion about the issue of prejudice, be careful of giving a glib summary statement revealing your pre-judgment of the issue. If approached by a crouching tiger or hidden dragon-run or attack but don't stop to develop an unprejudiced response to either it or a tsunami approaching the beach of life. Some things require prejudgment, and though the term 'predjudice' has had a pejorative definition or bias built into it, since the Talbot Parsons era at least, the reality of the value of forming prejudgements is more valued to those that have been injured by those about whom an opinion is formed than by those that were provided with marsh-mellow and orange sherbet with cherries in brandy sauce on top by the same elements.

One might develop pre-replies to the issue of prejudice or abuse that is directed upon oneself at work or frolic searching for hernia surgery or a non-lifting job. If someone utters some cold blooded biased thing, or a femininazi accuses you-a total stranger going about one's business as some kind of natural enemy to destroy or plunder - be ready to say in reply to the daily hate language or gesticulation: 'don't bite me, baby'.

Biases and feuding are facts of life in the U.S.A. They are good excuses for the pervasive social uncreativity of people in an urban environment. In a rural environment without machines mankind could just work ; inventing lies wasn't always so useful -neither were insults. Real material work had to be done instead of gaining a b.s. advantage. In the urban setting a b.s. supremacy of wise-guyness is second nature as a goal for so many that the economy suffers. Abuse and ignorance replace work and intellect. Unclear language is an excuse for loyalty to global corporate pay masters with the goodie bag and veritable silk stockings and chocolate. The power of the corporate media for propaganda and dissimulation is without limit and defines what should or should not be prejudiced. Does everyone in America in June 2009 really care that much about the Iranian election as one would gather from media coverage, or is that a concern of the elites foisted up[on everyone listening or watching because the elites want to rule everything in the world for corporatism? Iran may or may not be a nuclear concern, but Washington hasn't done anything about that forever and has feuded since 1979 with the savage Muslim highlanders. Rich people just don't care about the same things as the poor. So nothing gets done
